Gnome apps have a bad habbit of not working properly. Gedit hates shared folders for example. Can you do the same with other file managers, like pcmanfm? Can you drag'n'drop text from one window to another (e.g. gedit, mousepad, abiword, OpenOffice.org, browsers)?

Well, I have no idea. With my Xfce, I can drag'n' drop files from Thunar to Thunar, pcmanfm to pcmanfm, pcmanfm to Thunar and vice versa. All while having an XP VM in seamless on the same workspace. No multi monitor though. Sounds like a Gnome bug. You can do the same thing when the VM isn't running?

I can do that too, but no actions involving the desktop. This is also the case with xfce/thunar. Can you verify that you can move icons on your desktop while in seamless mode? Thanks

Ah, now I see. There seems to be some kind of overlay on it. I can select icons, I can get the context menu, I can create a rectangle for selection, but moving it doesn't seem to work. Please file a bug report in the Bugtracker (separate account needed). Be sure to explain the situation as clear as possible. Also, if you have Compiz on (Desktop Effects), disable them and try again to see if that makes any difference. I have Compiz-Fusion enabled by default and can't really disable it now (too many things running on different workspaces).
